Planning a party? Top 10 things to consider:
- Do you have a theme?
- How many people come?
- What will happen at the party?
- Where will the party take place?
- What types of food options will be provided (by whom)?
- What kind of budget do you have?
- How long is the party or event?
- Is there enough parking?
- Are there enough bathrooms?
- And the entertainment?
Party rental companies come in all shapes and sizes; Here are some ways to ensure that you are choosing a quality provider:
- Call a supplier and talk to them about your event, a reputable supplier will be able to provide you with a quote over the phone or in many cases for larger rental requests by email, fax or in some type of typed format.
- Verify that your provider is licensed to do business. Ask if they are and check with your state’s corporate division to determine if the supplier is in fact a legitimate business. There are many people who simply offer party rentals part-time or as a second income; If your event is important to you, you’ll want to make sure you hire a professional, full-time, event, or party rental company.
- Ask to see a certificate of insurance from the company. Many of the smaller part-time businesses and some of the larger rental companies out there are uninsured. You should verify that you are doing business with a legitimate supplier, that they have insurance to protect you, them and your guests from any unplanned accidents or incidents.
- Get an invoice + service contract. Sign, date and return the contract to the company. Without a signed agreement, you likely won’t have a contract. Be sure to read your invoice and agreement carefully; If you don’t check to verify that all of the items you have in your party rental order are on the invoice, don’t be surprised when something doesn’t make it to your event …
- Check the event date, time, contact and location information on the agreement / invoice. Any information like this can cause big problems if it’s wrong. On the day of the event, you want to get the correct information on the invoice as that is what the party rental company will use to get to your location. A wrong address combined with a wrong phone number can create a nightmare …
No matter what you rent for your party, it is important to follow the list above.
